Patience
Tap, Tap, Drag, Tap, Tap, Drag. Rhyan bit back a groan and
settled for clenching her jaw a little tighter. This keeps up and I'm
going to break my teeth. Tap, Tap, Drag, Tap, Tap, Drag. She opened her
eyes and was caught in the pale, laughing green of her girlfriends
eyes. "Problems dear?"
Problems? Why in the world would I have problems? It's not like
you've been teasing me for an hour now. Nope, No Problems, None at all.
Rhyan's answer was a small indifferent smile before turning back to her
puzzle. The ball, warm under her fingers, failed to pull her attention
away from the others movements. No matter how hard she tried the rings
were not as interesting as the cool metal that was being played across
her stomach. Tap, Tap, Drag, Tap, Tap, Drag.
Rhyan rolled the small sphere between her palms, pulling it down
and studying each of its many marks as she had done countless times
before. Tap, Tap, Drag, Focus Woman! Focus! Tap, Tap, Drag. She
heard a quiet laugh, barley escaping pink lips. And then the pen was
pulled away and the quiet rustle of paper could be heard. "Done..." Rhyan
again looked up at her lover to see her folding the newspaper,
apparently having finished her own puzzle. She found herself, as she
often did, studying the other woman. Starting at her deep auburn hair,
braided and pulled over her shoulder. Down to those pale green eyes,
nearly white and full of laughter. The corners, as usual, crinkled with
mirth. Small nose barely upturned at its end. Full, pink lips, parted
slightly give a tiny peek at white teeth and the shadow of a tongue.
Biting her own lip Rhyan's gaze traveled back up to eyes she knows
so well and a brow wrinkled in amusement. "Something funny?" Not
expecting an answer she moved to the smooth neck, following it down to a
shoulder that disappeared under a black t-shirt. My t-shirt. The
thought tugged a smile from her. She would have continued her visual
exploration had the other woman not been sitting with the bedcovers over
her lap. So instead she sat up, leaned forward and licked the smiling
woman between the eyebrows. That action caused a snort and two small
hands to push against her shoulders dropping her on her back once again.
"You're a dork. I've mentioned that right?" Her smile grew as
the voice, words almost a whisper, reached her ears. "An incredibly
patient, well behaved dork this morning." A warm finger took up tracing
the stomach the pen had so recently abandoned, the nail making slight
scratching noises across flesh. Tap, Tap, Drag, Tap, Tap, Drag. "You
didn't try to interrupt me once, let me finish the whole cross-word
without trying to do it yourself." The movement stopped and the entirety
of the hand was splayed across her stomach, just above the belly button,
comfortable on weather worn skin. "Thank you." The sentiment was
punctuated by a kiss placed next to the hand.
And it was hard earned, that kiss. Rhyan was easily frustrated
when something was not quickly solved. Be it a real world problem or a
puzzle. If she herself knew how to solve it that is. And more often
than not she did. Rhyan preferred to spend a few moments studying a
problem before attacking it, leading to her solving them much faster and
in very few tries. So it took a lot of self control for her to stay
still and let Nara be while she worked on the crossword. Which is what
the small spherical puzzle was for, a way to keep Rhyan's mind busy.
And it worked, the Isis supposedly being the hardest 3-D puzzle ever
designed, typically kept her busy when she was playing with it. Letting
the clever mind work through it while only occasionally moving a piece.
However when faced with Nara or the puzzle...Nara is way more interesting.
Sliding her larger hand over the one on her torso Rhyan trapped it
there while she sat back up. "Your welcome. Very, very, welcome."
Stretching forward she touched her lips to the corner of Nara's mouth,
turned her head and did the same to the other side. "As long as you
enjoyed it."
The hand on her stomach scratched lightly over sensitive skin
before winding its way up and beating a baseline on tan ribs. "But it
drove you nuts didn't it?" Nara leaned into Rhyan placing a soft kiss
on her nose. "Made you crazy? Want to climb the wall? Yell out the
answers? Leave the room?" At each new suggestion she placed little
kisses across Rhyan's face. While her free hand took up continuing the
former pattern on a bit of muscled thigh. Tap, Tap, Drag, Tap, Tap,
Drag.
"A little, maybe." Nara closed her eyes, savoring the feeling
Rhyan's voice created. Tiny vibrations moving through her hand and
across her whole body. Even those words, soft and simple as they were,
rolled out of the woman like thunder. Part growl, part pant, all Rhyan.
The feel of hands on her folded knees brought Nara out of her thoughts
leaving her face to face with her lover. Dark, sometimes too intense,
brown eyes stared back at her. One black eyebrow was arched in a silent
question, in way of answering she leaned forward, "thank you." It was
whispered against soft lips, more movement than sound but the gentle
squeeze of a hand on her knee assured her that it was understood.
Pulling back she once again encountered that eyebrow. Its
companion twitched when she slid off the bed and thin wrinkles appeared
across a furrowed brow. Pulling Rhyan over till she could reach her
Nara smiled and licked between her brows, and smiled when she felt
Rhyan's laugh vibrating through both of them. "Breakfast?" Stepping
away she waited for her counterpart to follow. "I could eat, somebody
took forever this morning, stupid puzzle..." Looking over her shoulder
Nara noticed the small smile on the other woman's lips, well that's all
right then.
